Question

How do I throw my husband an all-boys baby shower?

Share

My husband feels left out of the pregnancy and the events surrounding our baby's birth, so I'd like to throw him a 'baby barbecue' -- sort of like a baby shower for him and the boys. The only problem is I have no idea how to go about it. Please help!

My baby shower is in the winter time and it's going to be a Co' ed party.
My mother, Aunts and my best friend are throwing it.Husban is worried about what are the men going to do ?
I say the same thing drink, talk play if they like and enjoy his blessing with some great food. and music.
It just seems more fun including everyone.

My husband and I threw a baby shower for are friend melissa and my husband threw a pamper party for her husband mike. What we did is we took her invitations and put a personal invite that stated at the end of melissa's baby shower that their will be a pemper party for men that they are welcome to invite their husbands or even stick around.It turned out well we are all in the military so poker is a huge hit all the men had a pack of dipers and the poker game the buy in was 20.00 and they took 5.00 of every 20.00 to the baby.They also had a mini keg and lots of food are freind made out and had a blast.

I am planning to throw a Baby Kegger for my husband with the help of my brother in law. My husband is happy with the idea because he is very proud to celebrate his future son along with his friends! I am doing a lightning bolt cake with our son's name on it, and will have a winter BBQ on our deck with a big fire pit for warmth. One of the games being planned is that they will race to see who can suck the beer dry out of the baby bottle and then will do some other fun games. Each attendee will be asked to bring any size pack of diapers to the party. And I will provide the food and beer. I believe this is becoming more and more popular and men should be able to celebrate with a shower too!

The barbecue is a great idea, because It's just for him and nothing else is going on. Just get all his friends together and let them know that this is a daddy barbecue shower and have them bring gifts just for him to use as a new dad. There are alot of dad gifts our there. He will enjoy.

My husbands friend is throwing him a Daddy Shower coming up soon. My husband has been very supportive throughout the pregnancy so I was excited when his friend mentioned he wanted to do something nice for him. They are supposed to bring gifts like smart alleck onesies I love my daddy shirts, hats, or bibs and fun little bubble gum cigars. They are having it at a friends house BYOB and you cant come unless you bring something. Guys only so this gives my husband a chance to hang out with his friends one more good time! To my husband its just an excuse to drink, relax and be around friends because its not structured with a buncha games and things its not a big deal to him or his friends.

My husband has been throwing all-guy showers for his friends when they have their first child. It's been something simple, like just getting together for dinner, and then they give gifts based on the dad's hobbies. For example, for one dad who loves basketball, they guys all went in on gifts such as a cute outfit and a toy basketball hoop. For a friend who loves camping and canoing, they went on an all-guy's camping trip and gave him a baby life jacket, a little canoe paddle, etc. For a dad that loves biking, they all went in on a bike trailer.

my husband threw a diaper party for my son-in-law. He went to a pizza place and had pizza, wings and beer for all the men. The men were told to bring a package of diapers from newborn to age 1-2. They got enough diapers to last almost the first 8 months. And he didin't have to clean up the mess. The men had a ball!!

For our co-ed baby shower, we decided on a sports theme, as a family we love the Red Sox. So we just went with it. A friend made "ticket" invitations with baby Red Sox gear on it (baby red sox vs. baby yankees), we got tons of Red Sox party decorations and then served ballpark food. Guests were friends of both my husband's and I's. We didn't play any traditional "baby shower" games, we just had a get together to celebrate the new addition. We did have a cake and we opened presents, but the rest was just a fun party. It was simple to put together and the best part was that everyone had a blast!

My Fiance had a guy's only diaper party. The guys all came and brought diapers. (One guy got us a bunch of tubs of wipes) He set up darts in the basement and beer pong as well. There was a baby pool running all night long. We ended up with about $300 bucks cash and $250 in BRU gift cards. It was a night for him to see his friends before baby comes. And with only about 20 guys they really helped us out with diapers!
